I agree with you Will B. Everything else is painted on the walls.

Isolation = high risk of drooping lever :^(
Damn I'm glad I'm not in prison, am married, and don't have a drooping lever :^)

Used to wonder what it would be like as a C.O. reporting for duty at the beginning of a shift at the now mostly closed-down Holmesburg prison;first thing you'd probably notice would be the smell.Next thing you would probably notice would be the sound.
After that your attention might be fixed on the cramped confines,the stone and stepping over the door sills.And signs like this.
